The new RxVigilance mobile platform will also come packed with several new features, such as age-related warnings, pregnancy and breastfeeding considerations, and other key safety factors. RxVigilance has also been updated to include official Canadian monographs, a professional library, an antibiotic therapy guide, pediatric dose calculators, and expanded adverse effects and indications sheets.
